Give a single gift

A single donation will make a tangible difference to the British Library.

From providing essential equipment for schoolchildren in the Harry M Weinrebe Learning Centre to providing a bespoke tour of our exhibitions for local community groups, your support will enable us to continue to be one of the world’s greatest research libraries.

• Your gift of £100 will enable us to provide custom-made protective boxes for some of the most vulnerable items in our collections.
• Your gift of £500 will enable one of our expert conservators to rebind a book in need of vital repair.
• Your gift of £1,000 will provide three inspirational workshops, centring around our current exhibition, for school children, bringing the wonders of the Library to the researchers of the future.

We will use your donation wherever it will make the greatest difference, or you can choose from one of three essential programmes: helping us acquire new items for our collections; safeguarding our collections for the future through our extensive conservation programme; or providing much-needed funding for learning projects.

The impact of your gift will be felt across the Library, and will ensure that we continue to share the world’s knowledge.

You can make a one-off donation instantly and easily online.
